the monster chandelier






This is something I completed recently. The homeowners contacted me because they had purchased a house and were remodeling it. The previous owners had a very different color scheme and overall style going on than what the new homeowners wanted. This chandelier came with the house but the original color wasn't going to work with the new style of the home. The homeowners were installing dark bronze sconces with an antique copper finish and asked if I could match the chandelier. I knew I could but also knew it would be a ton of work. I said yes.

This is one of those jobs that make me happy I discovered audiobooks. The chandelier wasn't difficult to paint but it took a really long time. Chandeliers are all nooks and crannies ad tiny spaces that are hard to reach. I sprained my pinky painting this as it got caught in one of the nooks and/or crannies. It was a lot of work but I'm happy I said yes. I love how it came out and by painting the existing chandelier the homeowners saved themselves the cost and hassle of replacing the chandelier. I love a good challenge.
